We wanted to leave for Guelph early, but with the 401, Toronto and that sort of mess we decided instead of leaving early maybe after rush hour would be better. We had a wonderful breakfast made by Auntie Anne, thanked her a ton for taking us in and all of her generosity, and then headed on our way.
Guelph is really close to Toronto, so once we got out of the back-log of rush hour traffic it was smooth sailing..or cruising..or, well..uh? you get the point.
We pulled up to Kim Taylor's house...(this is another of Alexander's Sensei's) around 10AM and he invited us in. Kim had to run a few errands, so we used his computer to check on our email's and arrange accommodations in Thunder Bay and Winnipeg.
When he got back we had some lunch (Kim soup and the two of us pizza) and then we headed over the the University of Guelph. Alexander was to train with Kim for the remainder of the afternoon and I could do whatever. I watched the two train for a while, (video-taped) what they were doing for Alexander to refer back to, and then went out to wander around the University.
It was a very strange feeling to see all of the university students busy and running around. I know what that is like, but it was strange being there but not actually being a student.
I wandered to the Arboretum which Alexander has talked so much about. I took pictures of the fall colours and settled on a bench and enjoyed some fresh air.
After I had enough of that I went to the Student Centre to try and find a plug in so that I could watch some TV re-runs. I had no luck doing that, and I didn't know how much longer the guys were training for, so I settled in and started writing some blogs. It wasn't long, and then I got a call from my other half saying they were done and we could head out.
I trekked back to the car (met Kim and Alexander along the road) and then we went back to his place. Kim had to go out with his kids quickly so we kept ourselves busy in his house. Another student of Kim's (Pam) who wanted to join us for dinner and when everyone was back we headed out for Chinese buffet called Sun Sun.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the day. When supper was over we headed to Pam's house where we all vegged out and watched an oldie but a goodie movie "The Last Starfighter".
Pam headed out halfway through the evening as she was on her way to Thunder Bay for the seminar (which we will be seeing her at on Saturday) and then when the movie was over the Taylor crew headed home as well.
